Perfect birthday lunch. From our warm welcome from Giuseppe, to our awesome two hours at the chef’s counter with Chef Matt, every detail went beyond expectation. All allergies were seamlessly and carefully integrated into the menu. Both Sommes’ choices were personal and thoughtful. The team stored our luggage and helped get us out on time for our onward journey despite us arriving late - and through it all, made every moment feel deliberate and meaningful. Chicken bread continues to be THE best snack in London, even on our third visit over years. Lovely to visit Frog again, thank you so much for hosting us. See you soon!

Exquisite experience, one of the best I've ever had. Everything from the setting, through the service and of course the food was amazing. We requested a vegan tasting menu for my fiancé, and not only did it looks as good as mine, it also tasted as good and you can tell they put the same thought and effort into everything. We mentioned her birthday was coming up, and a birthday card was waiting for her, signed by all the staff! Can't wait to go again

I’ve been fortunate enough to dine at many great restaurants, but Frog is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. This isn’t just a meal - it’s a culinary odyssey. Every course feels like part of a story, and each dish delivers such an incredible combination of flavours and textures that you find yourself wanting the experience to last just a little longer before moving on to the next surprise. The attention to detail is remarkable - not only in the food, but in everything around you: the tableware, the plates, the seating, the atmosphere. The service strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth, with thoughtful explanations of every dish and pairing. As someone who doesn’t drink alcohol, I was still genuinely impressed by the care and expertise behind the non-alcoholic programme. What I loved most is that Frog never feels pretentious. It’s relaxed, welcoming, and completely confident in what it does - because it absolutely delivers. I rarely take photos when dining out, but here I simply couldn’t resist. The hospitality, creativity, and execution were exceptional. If Michelin stars were awarded purely on the experience I had, I’d be arguing for two. Absolutely blown away.

My wife and I enjoyed an anniversary lunch at The Frog. The location is very easy to find, close to Covent Garden. The interior was as interesting as the exterior. The reception was very welcoming. The service and the interaction with the front of house was very good. It was good to see the calm in the kitchen. The food was beautifully presented and the tastes excellent. The wine flight beautifully complimented the food perfectly. The background music was at just the right level to create a lovely ambience, enabling us to talk easily to one another whilst masking any noise from the open kitchen. We will definitely be going back. Thank you to all who gave us a great experience at The Frog

Wow!! I love when food and wine become theatre and the story was exciting from start to finish. When a plate of food or a glass of wine (and its story) makes you feel like it’s Christmas Day as a 10 year old you know it’s special. Staff were really attentive and went out their way to be part of the experience-more than just front of house. Sharing stories and experiences. Not a bit of starchiness that sometimes is inevitable with higher prices and Michelin stars. If you’re in London - go out your way to eat here
